    Actually, you would have been the closest. Sorry, it was after when he counted them. I am impressed either way :)

    I'll fess up- I calculated the box size, then measured a 25 pack of 12g. shells, then went from there. Figured 61 tightly packed boxes of 25 ea.
    Went 2/3rds of that number (1016 shells) and discounted another 4 boxes for the loose fill (approx. 100 ct.)- and then I guessed.
    I'm being honest, I really didn't see the final count, not that it would have mattered. And to think I was that close....
    and these are the things that keep me sleepless at night........:hair:

    I had no doubt you would be close, and that you did not see the total.

    No worries, I just laughed at myself when I saw the actual total of 909 ct. and I went with the 910 ct. as my median.
    I'm just stupid that way sometimes. ;)
